BURKERT 387448 Type 8652 AirLINE 12-Slot Industrial Ethernet Valve Island

Burkert 387448 is a 12-slot Type 8652 AirLINE valve island with 9x 2x3/2-way CF-C valves, 3 blind plates, Industrial Ethernet RJ45, HotSwap, check valves, and aluminium AirLINE Quick base.

BURKERT 387448 Type 8652 AirLINE 12-Slot Industrial Ethernet Valve Island

BURKERT 387448 (Type 8652 AirLINE) is a factory-configured 12-slot pneumatic valve island engineered for process automation environments. The unit integrates an Industrial Ethernet fieldbus communication module supporting PROFINET IO, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, EtherCAT, and CC-Link IE Field Basic via dual RJ45 ports. Valve positions 1 through 9 are fitted with Type 6534 servo-assisted 2x 3/2-way normally closed solenoid valves (Circuit Function C), while valve positions 10 through 12 are equipped with blind plates for future expansion. The assembly features an anodised aluminium AirLINE Quick base adapter for direct cabinet floor cut-out mounting, brass push-in fittings (D10 supply, D6 working ports), internal auxiliary pilot air supply, pneumatic HotSwap capability on line 1 (P), and integrated check valves in exhaust ports 3 (R) and 5 (S).

Specific Hardware Configuration ​

Article 387448 has a 12-slot physical manifold block without intermediate feed modules. Each active valve slice occupies an 11 mm width, delivering independent pneumatic pilot signals to process valves and actuators.

AirLINE Quick Adapter Base ​

Article 387448 utilizes the AirLINE Quick adapter plate made of anodised aluminium. This system enables direct mounting onto a rectangular cutout on the control cabinet wall or floor. Pneumatic supply and working lines connect externally beneath the cabinet floor, isolating hose routing from electrical components and reducing enclosure volume.

AirLINE Quick Features ​

  • Material: Anodised aluminium adapter plate with nickel-plated brass pneumatic push-in fittings.
  • Ingress protection: IP65 achieved inside the cabinet when properly installed on the cabinet cut-out with seals; IP20 protection class for the exposed island body.
  • Eliminates bulkhead feedthrough connectors, minimizing installation labor and leak points.

Dimensional Specifications ​

Dimensions for 4-, 8-, and 12-slot configurations follow standard Type 8652 engineering data. Dimensions are stated in millimeters.

Installation on standard DIN rails (EN 50022 35 x 7.5 mm or 35 x 15 mm) is supported as an alternative to AirLINE Quick base installation.

Pneumatic Performance and Circuit Functions ​

Solenoid valves installed in slots 1 through 9 conform to Circuit Function C (CF C), containing two independent 3/2-way servo-controlled solenoid valves per slice with latching and spring-return manual overrides.

Integrated Process Protection Features ​

  • Check Valves in Exhaust Ducts 3 (R) and 5 (S): Factory-integrated non-return valves prevent exhaust back-pressure spikes from propagating through the valve island, preventing accidental actuation of unenergized pneumatic actuators.
  • Pneumatic HotSwap in Port 1 (P): Integrated check valve mechanism isolates individual valve slices during live removal, allowing single-valve replacement while the remaining channels stay under full working pressure.

Operational Note on HotSwap in Hazardous Locations

HotSwap functionality must not be performed in potentially explosive atmospheres unless the area is positively proven to be non-hazardous with appropriate gas detection instruments.

Electrical and Fieldbus Connections ​

The 387448 valve island provides galvanic separation between communication/display electronics and pneumatic valve coil power supplies via distinct spring-loaded terminals.
